You may think I am lucky having to post this question now...
I have seen on a couple of sites on the internet mention of putting a used extractor outside for the bees to clean up. This appears to make sense to me. And having used my stainless steel extractor for the first time yesterday hurray:), I am inclined to give it a go.
Any words of caution? And what would you use to wash it out with after the bees had finished with it? Plain water and washing up liquid? Washing soda? Sodium metabisulphite?
